UPDATED: A patient has been cleared of any Ebola suspicions at the Uppsala University Hospital. It marks the second suspected case in Sweden in two days.

The patient was taken to the Uppsala hospital on Monday afternoon. The hospital said in a statement that there were "minor suspicions" the patient was infected with Ebola.

Later in the afternoon, a hospital spokesperson told Sveriges Radio that the patient did not have the virus.

On Monday night, a man who arrived at Stockholm's Arlanda airport was also feared to have been carrying the virus.

He was rushed to isolation at the Karolinska University Hospital in the suburb of Huddinge when customs officials noticed he had a nosebleed and was vomiting.

Experts announced on Monday morning that the man was not infected with the virus, which has killed over 4,000 people in West Africa.

Sweden's Health Minister Gabriel Wikström announced last week that Sweden would be adding a further 100 million kronor ($13.89 million) to its aid efforts, taking its overall spending to around 240 million kronor.
